Good reasons to buy FIFA 16 on PS4 and Xbox One instead of older consoles

The FIFA 16 release is in less than a week and if you want the best experience you’ll want to make sure you buy the game on the right console. You can buy FIFA 16 on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, but there are a number of reasons you shouldn’t buy it on the older PS3 and Xbox 360.

The difference between features in FIFA 16 for Xbox One and PS4 and FIFA 16 for Xbox 360 and PS3 aren’t as dramatic as we saw with Madden 16 and NHL 16, but there are plenty of reasons to upgrade to a new console before buying FIFA 16 and other games this fall.

It goes without saying that the consoles and PC versions will be the definitive versions of FIFA 16. The PSP, PS Vita, Wii and 3DS versions will be legacy versions which means the base game will be the same as last year’s but it will have updated player roster and kits. There will be no Wii U version of the game which again shows that EA has no interest in developing the platform.

If you plan on buying a PS4 or Xbox One this year, now is a great time to do it, unless you are planning to play this fall’s hottest games on an older console. The games aren’t any more expensive than on older consoles, but you certainly won’t get as much for trading them in.

Here is a closer look at good reasons to buy FIFA 16 on PS4 and Xbox One instead of older consoles. There is no FIFA 16 Xbox One bundle, so you can’t get an upgrade that way, but if you keep your eye’s open you may find some Xbox One and PS4 deals. Although FIFA 16 on Xbox One and PS4 share many features with the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions there are some areas where developers focused more time on the new consoles which offer more power that delivers more than just better looking graphics.
